Once more I returned for the annual Friends of Fourth Ward Holiday Tour, now in hybrid Stroll N' Tour flavors! This year's weather was quite nice for the tour but very unpredictable leaving me scrambling each day for a proper hot/cold balance with my layers. This job is incredibly fun but always a workout as I run around like a madman across the entire tour space for three days straight so my layers tend to shed anyway.

I do my best to shoot a decent sampling of the experience in its finest form but frankly nothing beats just being there and strolling around for yourself. The atmosphere is alive and electric, there's hand bell music and delicious smells and local libation vendor samplings at pretty much every stop! Plus the Fourth Ward neighborhood is just really lovely and well kept by its inhabitants. I'm always impressed.

Enjoy these photos of the tour, feel free to save them and use them online. I only politely request that you not crop out my watermark when doing so. You could always support me as well by purchasing a higher quality version of the same picture without the watermark for as little as $5.00! Happy holidays!
